Wondering about the unusual blog name for a paper crafter? My site is named after my Black Lab, Shadow. Shadow received his name by being my constant shadow including while I am crafting. The running joke in my family is that due to the whole 'Labs shed A LOT', everything I create has a signature 'Shadow' hair hidden somewhere... I hope you enjoy my creations and please don't hunt for the tiny black hairs :)

Gimme Five- 5th Sunday Challenge at ABAC

Hello! I am so glad you are here! Today is the fifth Sunday of the month and that means it's time for a special challenge at Anything But a Card Challenges. Any time a month has five Sundays we do a 'five' challenge. Your creation can have the number five, five embellishments, five stamps, five anything! As long as it has something to do with five and is NOT a card, you're good!

I decided to do another page in my quotes journal and used five flower stamps to create my garden. I found a quote by Hemingway "When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead." and I thought this was a great reminder to not take life so seriously. I also wanted to make a fun page to go with the quote so out came the bright colors and a stamp set that I have not used in a very long time. I had a lot of fun using the blender pen to 'paint' the flowers and the butterfly. I also used pastels to create the sky.

I hope that you decide to do something for fun and join us in our Five Challenge! Have a wonderful week!
